loss is often the first sign of Alzheimer’s disease, followed by confusion and difficulty thinking. These symptoms reflect the typical pattern of worsening damage to tissues.
A recent study yields clues to why certain parts of the brain are particularly vulnerable to Alzheimer’s damage. It comes down to the gene , the greatest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. The parts of the brain where APOE is most active are the areas that sustain the most damage.

Black people are almost twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease later in life than white people. Researchers report Telmisartan, a drug used to treat high blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II, appears to be helpful in preventing or treating Alzheimer’s disease in Black individuals. The drug did not show the same potential in white people.
